“Courtney took such great care of our senior dogs. One of our dogs is blind with a fragile spine (herniated disc) and ear infections. She followed our instructions diligently. I received photos and prompt communication. We already rebooked Courtney for two other times, this time for a longer duration. Thanks Courtney!!”
“Melissa was amazing! She was in contact with us multiple times each day we were gone and I could tell our girls were having a blast with her. She followed our instructions, was very proactive if anything came up, and left our house looking better than when she arrived. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
About: We always had pets while I was growing up, mostly dogs and cats. I first adopted a dog on my own when I was in my early 20s, a beautiful chocolate lab named Riley. When I got engaged to be married, we rescued a small dog, Niko - our first baby. Niko sadly passed away in 2023 at the age of 17. She is greatly missed. In more recent years we brought Huckleberry into the family as a small puppy. He is a wonderful Great Pyrenees/Border Collie mix. He was Niko's best friends. We have always had pets; dogs, cats, birds, rats, etc. I am recently divorced and missing being around Huckleberry every day, and I would love to meet your beloved pet and would enjoy a check-in or a walk. I am currently doing consulting for a variety of companies in the medical technology space, providing me plenty of time to hang out with your dogs. Weekend days are the most wide-open, but during the week I also have plenty of time each day. I cannot host pets in my home and am available to drop-in and pick up dogs for walks from a client's home. Any care during a check-in or walk would be through gentle care and support, and hopefully some fun for all. I will talk with the client about any specific needs and requests.
“Monica was amazing! The first day we met and talked with her for our meet and greet, we were immediately at ease with having her sit for our dog and home. When we were away, we could tell that Monica was so kind, thoughtful and playful with Coco. She played with her toys with her, threw the ball, spent time in the yard and took her on neighborhood walks. She also took her on car rides and in general treated Coco like she was her own. We got so many adorable pictures and updates, and when we got home from our trip, Coco was calm and happy. We could not be more pleased. Also, Monica took beautiful care of our house and administered all of Coco's medications throughout the day. We would hire Monica to sit again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hello, my name is Emily and I would love to help you with your animal care needs. I have been around animals throughout my life and have always really enjoyed each unique personality. For my own pets, I have experience with (some would say) difficult animals but have always persevered. Whether it be my crazy cocker spaniel, high energy cattledogs, or hissy maine coon, I am up for any challenge. Every size, shape, color, personality... they are all so cute and have the sweetest hearts. I am responsible and dependable, and you can count on me to treat your pets with the same gentle care you would provide. I currently have a pretty flexible schedule and am therefore available most days and times for walks and drop-in visits. My booking availability reflects my current schedule. I care for all pets with kindness and patience. I know that animals may have anxiety with other people and I take that into account when caring for your loved pet.
“After a last minute second consecutive weekend trip came up, we were grateful Mike's schedule was open on short notice. We had another great experience with Mike! The dogs were happy, as evidenced by the daily photos, and we came home to the house looking just as we had left it. He even did cleaned out the dog's splash pool that had filled with rain water and debris.”
“Aida was great! She communicated with us throughout our trip giving us lots of updates. Our old dog has dementia and has gotten to be harder for strangers to win over and less regular in his schedule - but Aida took it in her stride and was patient with him. By the time we got home our dog seemed perfectly comfortable with her, which is a big compliment from him. We'll book her again if she's available!”
“Mary did a great job watching my pup while I was away for six days. She gave him lots of attention and short walks (he’s a frenchie so can’t walk too far in the summer). She provided updates and was quick to respond when I reached out, so my mind was at ease while being far away. My place also immaculate upon my return. Overall, I was very pleased and would definitely book Mary again.”
“Jessica as always was wonderful with our dog Teddy. She stayed at our home for 4 nights with Teddy and showered him with so much love and attention. I got so many picture updates while I was away and could tell he was so happy. I would recommend Jessica to anyone that is looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!”
“Matt will be our go-to house sitter and dog watcher from now on, he is absolutely fantastic! Extremely professional and accommodating, we are so thankful that our babies were in such great care with him. 12 out of 10 would recommend”
“Thank you so much for your kindness and caring nature, Gray. Milo being such a new pup truly appreciated you. Your attentiveness and attention to detail was much appreciated! We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you again soon!”
About: I have two dogs of my own and have been pet sitting since I was 11. I’ve taken care of a wide variety of animals from dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and hamsters. I have experience training puppies and have been to many puppy training classes for my own dogs. I enjoy walking my dogs around my neighborhood and have experience walking other peoples dogs. I am a student currently so have plenty of availability! I can work around your schedule to help find a time that works best for you! I keep an around the clock watch on my clients dogs to ensure their safety and give them lots of love and play time to keep them happy and satisfied. I refill their water as needed and make sure to feed them as my clients have instructed me to. I usually take my clients dogs on walks in the morning and in the evening to keep them active and stimulated. This changes per client and their dogs needs. I can give medication to my clients dogs if they have any. If grooming and hygiene is requested by clients, I can fulfill their needs (ex: brushing, bathing, drying, brushing teeth).
“Alexis was fantastic taking care of our 70lb Golden Retriever. Lots of pictures and updates as needed throughout our trip. Left our home spotless like you never knew she was here.”
About: I have been a homeowner and pet owner since 1991. I have cared for both large and small breed dogs since puppy age through adulthood. I have also raised and cared for fish, rabbits, birds, chickens and cats. I am retired from owning/operating small businesses. I have many years of experience with high demanding responsibilities and attention. I have most recently become a grandparent to a beautiful baby boy. I am currently helping my daughter with both her first child and large Shepard Mix puppy, Nelly. I would like to find other outside work and socialization during this process. As I mentioned before, I am very responsible and trustworthy. I am very good with children and animals. I am very good with caring for pets and adapting to their home surroundings. I am willing to travel to you and your pets needs if within a 5 mile radius of Lafayette. I enjoy the outdoors walking, hiking, I also have a great appreciation for the arts and design.
“Elaine was wonderful in every way. She is punctual, reliable, communicative, respectful of our house, and most importantly, she took excellent care of our little dog, which requires a lot of attention and care. She sent us detailed updates and pictures every day. We found a happy dog and a clean house. We are very pleased to have found her. After many years of hiring pet sitters, this has been our most positive experience. Thank you again!”
“I am so glad I found Halona to house and dog sit my pups. This was the first vacation I've ever taken where I didn't have to stress about if my dogs were okay, or my plants in my yards were dying, etc. Halona came by to meet my pups for the first time, we talked for awhile to get to know eachother. Then before my trip she came over and we walked the dogs around the area to get her familiar with whereabouts I walk them. The dogs were enjoying her company. Once I left to my trip, from the first day to the last she sent me multiple photos of them letting me know they are happy and doing well. My female has a lot of medication she takes on top of a special food diet, Halona never asked any questions she was right on it with the meds and food which was a big plus. When I came home she left a sweet note with flowers as a welcome home gift and the house was as clean as I had it for her when I'd left. Can't thank her enough for helping me enjoy my vacation, I know K.O and Nahla will miss her, until next time. Thank you thank you thank you Halona.”
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our 2 small dogs and cat! She sent us updates and photos and it was clear how much they enjoyed her. It’s such a relief to know our animals are in such good hands with her. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

Carrie was absolutely amazing with Watson! ❤️ He’s recovering from a back injury, so I was nervous about leaving him, but he instantly loved her and felt completely at ease. Carrie is so warm, friendly, and easy to talk to, and she was always timely and reliable. She gave Watson so much love and TLC, followed all of his care instructions, and kept me updated throughout her stay, including the behaviors and medication side effects I was tracking. It gave me such peace of mind knowing Watson was in such caring, attentive hands. I’m so grateful and would absolutely have her care for Watson again!
Vicki was so kind and wonderful with Manchitas. She took such great care of her, and most importantly, she followed her schedule perfectly. Thank you so much, Vicki, for doing such an excellent job! We truly appreciate it and would definitely hire you again. 💕🐾
Quinn & Kat were amazing! Super communicative and attentive, with lots of thoughtful updates and photos throughout the stay. They took great care of Abbey and went above and beyond with the house too — taking out the trash, running the dishwasher and laundry, and even cleaning the floors before we got home. We came back to a happy pup and a clean house. Would absolutely book with them again!
Elaine did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Jackson. I happen to be blind and Jackson is from Guide Dogs For The Blind so he’s pretty special to me and our family. Elaine followed all of our instructions perfectly and both Jackson and Our home were in great shape and ready for us when we returned home. I highly recommend Elaine to anybody looking for a very professional and experienced home in Dog Sitter.
Benjamin did a great job taking care of Oberon. I really enjoyed the silly pictures he took of Oberon while they played in the park. Oberon was all tuckered out when I got back, which is no easy feat! I felt confident that he was in good hands and would definitely book Benjamin again the next time I leave town.
We loved having Jordyn watch our dog, Hank! She was so great about keeping us updated and sending lots of pictures, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Hank seemed so happy when we got home, too! We had a not-so-great experience with a previous sitter, so Jordyn was truly a breath of fresh air. We’d absolutely recommend her & use her again!
Kelly is one of a kind! First, she took the time and effort to meet up with us before the sit to make sure everything was clear and comfortable. She is very communicative (sent photos and updates regularly) and timely in her responses regarding scheduling. Murray was happy and calm when we got home, and the house was perfect. I never once felt anxious with Kelly at the house with him. Thank you Kelly!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Saranap walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Saranap maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saranap choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
